Did you ancestor serve in the Army, Navy or RAF? If so why not post here their name, regiment and service info. You never know, another GCmembers rellie might have served alongside your person and may have information or pictures of your ancestors. George Sunley fought with the Royal Artillery as a gunner, 118th Bty. 26th Bde. I also have pictures taken in Catterick Camp during WW2 of several large groups of soldiers as my grandfather Arnold Willis Little was an instructor there.

Just as I was having another search for my great grandfather's military history I read your thread. William Young 7th Dragoon Guards stationed at Maidstone Barracks around 1870. Had left army by 1881. Also his son - my grandfather John Hansell Young - served in the first world war in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Sandy
